Congratulations, Graduate!

Today, I'm playing along at TGIF Challenges! This week's challenge is Graduation. Click the banner below to check out the fabulous design team inspiration and entries from some seriously talented stampers!

When I think graduation, the combination of gold, black, and white immediately comes to mind. I saw this beautiful iPhone case with a herringbone pattern in those colours, and that's where I needed to go!

I used the Chevron Punch to cut the pieces, then cut them in half and started piecing together a random herringbone pattern. Within a couple of rows, thing started to go awry... I ended up trimming it down to a column and using it as an element. :)

The "Bravo" stamp set lends itself perfectly to any sort of celebration, and I decided to use lots of the stamps to create a subway-art-style background. Throw in a few more elements with gold foil, sequins, and vellum, and my creation came together!
